The World War Z book did a good job talking about this. Things like zombies not being affected by overpressure from explosions making bombs less effective, and then ultimately the true downfall of the military: bad leaders with no clue what they were doing ordering soldiers to their deaths in stupid ways
Yeah I remember that part! They brought SAM launchers, radar, jammers and camo netting to a zombie fight.
I really like how they showed the military adapting though. Flying C-130s sparingly to save fuel. Running attack dirgibles, and returning infantry to formation tactics with .22 rifles and bite resistant suits.
LOL, I can see the Pentagon showing up at CCI:
“We need 500 million .22LR rounds.”
“Well cert… Uh… 500 million?”
“Here’s the purchase order. Good to pick up next Friday?”
Not a fan of the movie, but Brad Pitt taping magazines around his forearms for armor was brilliant. Light, 100% tooth-proof, easy to shed, easy to replace, all that.
Don’t forget the Lobo. Brilliant multi tool.
“But those are people running at us, we were totally caught off guard!” says the person trained to mow down maas groups of people.
To many of them!

Here, here!
They didn’t shoot survivors - they shot zombies to be. It was pre-emptive.
Wouldn’t that just make them zombies right away?
…yes, which is what the military industrial complex wants, which is why they developed the virus! It creates a forever war, with no real victims. Only an ever expanding number of enemy combatants!
Think of the profits! The constant sale of more weapons!..and they’ll never get into MY bunker! Because it’s in New Zealand!

Rule 11. Do not spread misinformation.
A modern military is a movie killer in many situations.
Kaiju? Don’t make me laugh.
“Flood torpedo tubes 1 and 3.”
And zombies in America?! LOL, all my neighbors have a gun or two. Black, white, young, old, liberal, conservative, all of them. We could probably field something with a scope on every rooftop.
Both of the recent Japanese Godzilla movies (Shin Godzilla and Godzilla Minus One) actually do an excellent job of neutralizing the military factor.
My hot take is that zombies were invented so that American movie heroes finally have an enemy they can believably outsmart.
